Police believe a gang of thugs are carrying out drive-by "egg-throwing" attacks which have left people injured.

The Evening Telegraph reported a few weeks ago how a lad suffered a nasty eye injury when he was pelted with an egg as he stood near Tile Hill College, in Tile Hill Lane. Police think the attacker may have used a catapult.

Det Con Tony Kelly said he was linking the incident to a few others in the Tile Hill area. He also wants to trace the victim of a similar incident at the junction of Sky Blue Way and Walsgrave Road, Stoke, on May 10.

A passer-by told police that three youths in a red car, possibly an Austin, had thrown an egg at an Asian man who was walking along the street. It is not known if the man was injured.
